In a strategic move to advance the landscape of web3 gaming, Saga, the well-known San Francisco-based Layer-1 protocol blockchain tech firm, has entered into a partnership with MarbleX, a division of the South Korean mobile gaming giant Netmarble.

Envisioning a future where web3 games operate seamlessly across multiple chains, the collaboration aims to connect in-game assets and improve the overall gaming experience. Rebecca Liao, CEO of Saga, expressed optimism, stating: "MarbleX has a proven track record in web3 gaming, and we're excited about the potential to enhance MarbleX’s resources by collaborating with our Saga ecosystem."

Web3 Gaming Adoption

MarbleX has outlined three primary focus areas to expedite web3 gaming adoption: a multi-chain strategy, content acquisition with a focus on triple-A games, and proactive global marketing. Saga, as a Layer-1 protocol, boasts over 320 innovator projects, 80% of which are games, gearing up for its mainnet launch in Spring 2024.

Founded in 2022, MarbleX aims to bring high-quality blockchain games to the market, offering key services such as a cryptocurrency wallet, token staking, and an NFT Marketplace. Saga, built on Cosmos, expands its presence by bringing diverse ecosystems into its Saga Multiverse through strategic partnerships.

The collaboration signifies a comprehensive alliance to enhance Netmarble’s web3 arm, MarbleX. Saga's innovative Layer-1 protocol, featuring chainlets, provides flexibility and scalability to meet the dynamic demands of the global gaming market.

Mobile Gaming Asia

Beyond technological infrastructure, Saga's role extends to providing user acquisition capabilities to MarbleX. This strategic move aims to fortify Saga’s presence in the Asian mobile games market, projected to exceed $65 billion in 2024, and accelerate MarbleX’s global user base.

MarbleX's CEO, Hong Jin-Pyo, highlighted Saga's commitment to bridging the gap between traditional and web3 gaming, stating: “Saga has a brand truly dedicated to enabling the next generation of gaming. We have full confidence that Saga’s infrastructure can support the scale and quality essential for broad web3 gaming adoption.”

The collaboration between Saga and MarbleX holds promise for enhancing the future of web3 gaming, bringing forth a new era in the gaming industry.
